Year 6 Transition

Year 6 into 7

Transition at Norton Hill School


  • We start early to form good relationships with parents, carers and their children

  • We work closely with our primary colleagues

  • Students with special educational or additional needs will be identified early and provision put in place

  • We communicate through our transition webpage

  • Transition day(s) are planned to reduce anxiety and to prepare children (and their parents) thoroughly for the first few days.


Miss Paice is the member of staff with responsibility for transition. This responsibility starts as soon as our new year 7 students are identified and lasts for the entire first year they spend at school.

Working closely with house staff, the aim is to make the transition as smooth as possible.
